But most importantly, she befriends three unique characters: a Scarecrow with no brain, a Tin Man with no heart, and a Lion with no “nerve.” Their journey to happiness – and self-awareness – is a glowing testament to friendship, understanding and hope in a world filled with both beauty and ugliness.
This 2 week, full day, face paced camp will have your camper acting, singing and dancing!

The final product of this camp will conclude with a 60 min production with tickets being sold for public performance.
